If you have onlt one SoftStartRV (or Micro Air EZ start), and need to run both A/C on a small generator, make sure all 120vac loads are turned off ( including your converter circuit breaker).
Start the A/C without the SoftStartRV first. It will draw a large surge current as the compressor spins up to speed. Wait a few minutes until it Stabilizes. Then start the A /C with the SoftStartRV. It will NOT surge (current) because the SoftStartRV allows the compressor to start slowly.
People have reported running 2 A/Cs on a 3000W generator or smaller.
I have 552AH of lithium batteries. I want to try running my SoftStartRV A/C on my 2000W inverter one of these days. I just have to do some rewiring first.
